On May 10, 2007, Brodie received certified mail indicating that he was banned from all Harrah's locations in Nevada, California, and Arizona. [ [http://www.brodietech.com/liontales/2007/06/fall-of-roman-empire.html Fall of the Roman Empire] , Lion Tales, June 2, 2007] He was originally not allowed to participate in the World Series of Poker, but according to Brodie's blog, on June 8 Harrah's executives relented, calling the ban a mistake.
